An absolute tragic loss in the disability community. Alice was one of the strongest voices we've had, and this world will not be the same without her guidance, especially during these times.

It Goes On is a little platformer that attempts to use mechanics as metaphor to explore disability and disempowerment.

A hexagon, inside which is a circle and a meeple, mimicing the accessibility stick figure in a circle. The word Abletop creates a table out of the top of the letter T. 

Text reads - Abletop: Exploring Tabletop Board Game Accessibility.

The second step in Adobe’s “cancel my plan” workflow, where they roll over and give you everything for half price, $29.99 vs the rack $59.99 cost

The second step in Adobe’s “cancel my plan” workflow, where they roll over and give you everything for half price, $29.99 vs the rack $59.99 cost

Adobe users: it’s the most beautiful time of the year, where you can threaten to cancel your plan and get the price cut down from $59.99 to $29.99 for the next 12 months ✨

Manage plan-> cancel my plan -> continue and then you get this offer: (more)

Alright here it is… we shouldn’t put “accessibility” things in games just because competitors did it.

Approaching accessibility by doing whatever competitors did is missing the goal:

1. It might not be right for that game.
2. It might not actually have been the right approach to begin with.
